At least he said it like he saw it and ruffled a few feathers in his day.I thought he was very entertaining and missed him when he got the shepherds hook off the TV.
He was a decent auld skin and brought old day 'Tic-tac' to the modern ages,
''Bottle', 'Up the arm', 'Burlington Bertie' Etc, which is all too old fer even me to understand. Chanel 4 did shaft him when they thought he was not P.C. enough fer there all new P.C. viewers, but McCririck had gone more anti P.C. over the years and the rest of the world had gone P.C. mad !
He probably did as much fer Racing as Steve Davis did fer Snooker or Eric Bristow did fer Darts and none of em got a whole lot of thanks when the big boys waded in and took over their respective games.
R.I.P.
P.S.
The Look on his Face in celebrity big brother when Brigitte Neilsen changed her top in the bedroom showing her bare breasts in front of him will live with me forever !
